    Has anyone seen Builtbadgers?

    Let's hope he takes a step forward soon.

    LOL. For the record, I don't subscribe to that publication -- and did not, in fact, read that. As I said in a post further down that thread, I heard PJ say on one interview something to the effect of: "You know, you can use the short passing game as a running game." And then about a week or...

    Has anyone seen Builtbadgers?

    Yep. Solid mind to bounce basketball ideas off of. Plus, he seems like a good man. I hope he checks in soon.

    Has anyone seen Builtbadgers?

    I've been a bit spotty... Have some cool things going on that are taking some time. But, that said, I don't recall seeing Built in a while. Worried about him. Anyone recall seeing him?

    For those who may think this was an obvious outcome... May I ask: where was your post presenting this as the strategy for the season? When I posted my original post, people posted: "You used to sell product to Matthew Perry?" OR "Did a little birdie tell you?" OR "I think there is a...

    Thanks for remembering. Harbaugh wants to force the defense to align with two safeties and then gash them with Taylor. And when they exit cover-2 because they are tired of being gashed by Taylor, he will return to using the short passing game. Book it.

    Remember when I told you that the plan was to use the short passing game to force a defensive alignment with two safeties and then run? Before the season started. Recall? I said it here: https://gopherhole.com/boards/threads/you-wont-believe-what-i-think.115620/ Well... Last week...

    Lack of Ability to Scout and/or Develop Offensive Skill Recruits is the Real Problem

    John John Michael Schmitz says hello. Ko Kieft says what's up? And Aireontae Ersery will be saying ciao next year.

    What grade would you give Max Brosmer in his first game with the Gophers?

    I viewed via television. (I live in Tampa.) It appeared that Max began the game a little overexcited and needed to bring his emotions into check. He did that over the course of the game and that's a self-correcting issue in any event -- no one stays excited forever. Looked like he went...

    No Debbie Downers thread

    We rushed for 2.4 yards per carry. That's a significant difference than Taylor toting it for 6 yards per carry -- and that, right there, is the single largest dynamic of the game. This team is dependent on Taylor, period. Brosmer was definitely uncomfortable out there. That said, when...

    Darius Taylor and Daniel Jackson dealing with injuries.

    100% correct. This is exactly why there is such a focus on the SHORT passing game this year. ONE WAY to force an alignment with two safeties is to compel fear of leaving either of two primary receivers in single coverage. That was 2019. We likely don't have personnel to do that this year...

    You won't believe what I think...

    Ok. Back from a day-long meeting. Sorry to be absent, not trying to be dramatic or anything. Why did I say what I’ve said? Permit me to defend it along two avenues: (1) reason; (2) hints. ---Reason--- If it is not too much trouble, may I play offensive coordinator for you? Here’s how the...

    You won't believe what I think...

    I think the Gophers are going to run a West Coast offense. This will force the opposing defense to play Cover-2. When the opposing defense aligns in Cover-2, we will have equal numbers at the line of scrimmage -- and we will hand the ball to Taylor, and he will gash them. Then the defense...

    Fox 9: Gophers: 5 defensive players that need to step up in 2024

    My primary concern is linebacker depth. Cody has really never stayed healthy. And should he go down, does that spell disaster as it did last season? Big picture: -Will the Gophers be AT LEAST able to pass OPPORTUNISTICALLY, i.e., (i) on non-passing downs, (ii) when favorable defensive...

    Femi Odukale commits

    Totally agree that Hawkins would penetrate the lane, scramble the defense and then identify his passing opportunity. It was fun to watch, and very effective at times. In fact, I think it would get more effective as the players developed more and more chemistry. ...But, alas. I think you...
